Why do Organizations Replace and Retire their EHR?
There are several reasons why healthcare organizations replace and retire their legacy EHRs and other systems.
Some of the major reasons include:
- Product sunset
- Merger and acquisition
- Retirement of the physician who managed the systems
- Meeting statutory retention requirements
- Data integrity risks
- Data accessibility issues
- Poor cybersecurity-resilence
- Lack of reporting capabilities and analytics
- Others
Your Organization decides to Replace and Retire its legacy systems, so what’s next?
Even if the organization decides to retire the obsolete systems, healthcare organizations are still responsible for maintaining medical and financial records. Organizations are many times led to the false belief that they will not need the old system once they move to the new one. However, as per federal regulations such as HIPAA and state retention laws, facilities must retain their patient data for an assigned duration, before its disposal in an appropriate manner.
Organizations soon find themself filled with questions such as:
- What’s next?
- What do we do with this historic data?
- Where do we store this data?
- How do we manage our historical data optimally?
